Top Ten Highlights of My Summer Job

September 7, 2013
  1. The Master Spreadsheet
  2. Being kissed by a Macedonian...on the cheek (it was actually really strange and uncomfortable... honestly I will never get used to the European custom of cheek kissing.) *
  3. Dancing with some guy from Denmark because I didn’t want to make him feel bad just because I can’t dance. And because when I said no for the 6th time he just took my hand and dragged me onto the dance floor. I took one for the team to prevent an international incident.* I realize this comes across a certain way but he was actually a complete gentleman and let me leave as soon as the song finished... coincidentally, he now believes me when I say I cannot dance.
  4. Ya Mama... no seriously she always brought me coffee.
  5. Picking up French people from the airport and actually having to speak French to them... and then failing miserably.*
  6. Archiving old photos and documents for an anniversary piece
  7. Eating copious amounts of Alberta Beef 
  8. Sending secret mail to BD1 and waiting with giddy anticipation for her to receive it.
  9. A lady from New Zealand giving me a kleenex package with a silver fern on it (New Zealand’s national symbol) and instructing me not to use them all up when they leave.
  10. When the committee chair announced to 500 people that I was single and willing to move overseas.... and then had no takers.* #foreveralone
